Q

Which GMDSS system utilizes terrestrial radio techniques?

🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) structure and components • Difference between satellite-based and terrestrial (land-based) radio systems • Which systems listed are primarily navigation-only vs. communication/distress systems

💭 Think About

• Identify which options use satellites to provide service and which rely on shore-based radio stations and ship radios • Ask yourself: which option clearly lists radio frequency bands instead of a specific brand or satellite service? • Consider whether GPS is actually part of GMDSS distress/communication equipment or mainly used for position fixing/navigation

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choices are satellite communication services and eliminate them if the question asks for terrestrial radio • Check which option explicitly refers to VHF, MF, HF – these are standard marine radio bands used with GMDSS coast stations • Confirm that the system you select is used for distress, urgency, and safety communications, not just for determining position
